You're absolutely insane if you're not seeing the massive jump from Wolfenstein to this. Doom looks dramatically better. It's a beautiful game.

Is it really? The best looking game on the market right now is AC: Unity. Is DOOM close to this? Doesn't look like from the screens I saw.

The benchmarks are really rough fur such "normal" looking game IMO.

 

[Finaika]

Pascal pls save us.

 

[CyberPunked]

When tuxfool psoted these the other day I died inside. Not because of the obvious alpha nature of the vendor spread... but because of the terrifying thought that Doom 4 will be capped @ 60fps for no fucking reason.

It's because of the horrendous, Idtech shit they use as an engine.

 

[JaseC]

I like the idea of mega textures, but the way they ended up actually implementing it (using "stamping" for randomisation and personilsation), just led in a lot of cases to the same patterns popping up, just in a different order. It wasn't as painterly as they describe it.

The extent to which stamping is an issue is directly correlated to how much time the artists have to create content, and given Dishonored 2 is looking to release four years after the original, I think it'll be even less of an problem (assuming for the moment that Void is indeed based on id Tech 6 and the game isn't delayed further)... but of course that depends on how many unique locations the game has -- the more locations, the less time they have to devote to each.

added disclaimer (auto translated):

The tidbit about the possibility of AMD cards using lower settings brought to mind this relatively ancient controversy, haha.

Maybe it's a leap from Wolfenstien, but it still looks lackluster.


Doesn't come close to games like Battlefront, Froza, Driveclub, The Order, Unity, Witcher, MGSV, or even Halo, which disappointed graphically as well, but still looked much better than what I have seen from Doom 4.


Doom 4 looks like a "standard" current gen game. And "standard graphics" and "Doom" shouldn't be in the same sentence.


I'll just leave this here too. The good ole days.

[Shifty]

My 2Gb 680 gently weeps.

Also, the stuff about the game automatically changing up settings based on the hardware can die in a fire. I should be the one to define the quality baseline for my machine, not the developers.

 

[Angel_DvA]

devs really need to optimize their games at this point,a 980 isn't even 2 years old and can't even run it at a locked 60FPS... a joke.

"Optimize" is being thrown around frequently recently.

 

[JailDesigner]

My mind is not accepting this.

I bought a 970 just last month.

 

[thelastword]

That Radeon performance advantage is ridiculous, none of their major cards falls below a minimum of 60fps whilst no Nvidia card can manage a locked 60fps so far. Funny that the 390x is missing from so many benches, but I see the 290x is there no less.

Things are about to get interesting but AMD performance seems to be taking an upward spiral of late.

Your post?

In all seriousness: First, it's an alpha version. You can't expect it to be optimized in any way, especially not towards different GPUs. Second, a high end graphics card should not be the limit developers should adhere to. Just pick the graphics settings that allow the game to run on your hardware to your content. Why artificially limit settings only so that you can pull all sliders to max?

 

[7DollarHagane]

That's disappointing.

Maybe I should buy games on console for a few months and wait for the 1070 line, save up my money.

Or maybe switch to team red.

It's people like you that cause games to get downgraded.

 

[roadrunn3r]

People are already freaking out on the performance of an alpha build Jesus. Yea all you SLI 980Ti owners should get the console version just to stay safe.

Ok, so it runs like ass.

And now people will say 'But it's not the release version!' to cover the fact that it runs like ass.

Then it'll release and still run like ass and those people will be nowhere to be found.

I know how this game works.

What we see doesn't seem very promising for several reasons but how about we wait for the release before we lose our shit?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Oh yea, because he's totally hoping for parity on a 680.

Right? Might as well argue that taking benchmarks of an alpha is pointless if there's going to be a magic bullet to fix performance on release.

[thelastword]

My mind is not accepting this.

I bought a 970 just last month.

At this point I'm just waiting till the new cards are announced before I upgrade, I think AMD will make it quite interesting with their hardware and software combo next round and will force NVidia's hand to be more competitive. Their current hardware has already improved tremendously since their latest drivers and direct x12.......Vulcan software should be very interesting as well....


As for the 970, it's a good little card, but I fear it will be on the chopping block soon for the latest titles. It's interesting there was a huge thread when the Ubisoft guy said they didn't max out the division for PC, but people fail to realize that the 970 does not even play that game (in it's current state) at 1080p locked 60fps.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

34 fps for a 970? Damn

My first thought.

I will retain my shit, as you ask.

And when the game is released I will calmly point back to this thread and then release said retained shit.

 

[RoboPlato]

When were these benchmarks done? The last alpha was months ago.

 

[lazygecko]

With 3 months from release I wonder just how many meaningful performance gains they can do in that amount of time.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Pretty much.

 

[Gattsu25]

"i don't see the 30-60 fps difference anyway"

Isn't it funny how a few 60fps console launch games shut those people up?


These benchmark results are odd in all regards. No graphic settings in the user control is interesting as well.

 

[Hellgardia]

In what Alpha was this taken? I don't remember to see any framerate drops in the multi closed alpha on my gtx970.

 

[JoJo UK]

I'll just leave this here too. The good ole days.

Memories just came flooding back, I know how I'm spending the rest of my lunch.

 

[DooMAGE]

A game with no Gameworks bullshit running better on AMD cards. Shocker!

Haha. What?

 

[T.O.P]

34 fps for a 970? Damn

Yeah, shit sucks

 

[LordRaiden]

Yeah, shit sucks

A vacuum sucks, shit just stinks.
So does Nvidia performance, if we were to believe these numbers.

 

[JBwB]

Those benchmarks... Pascal cannot come sooner haha.

 

[vio]

My mind is not accepting this.

I bought a 970 just last month.

It just goes to show how much GPU prices suck.

 

[Azax]

Well it's alpha. I find it hard that a 290 runs better than 980ti...

 

[bathsalts]

60 cap is pretty disappointing. I'm not putting much stock in those Nvidia benches though, 780Ti's pulling 40 fps at 1080p doesnt add up, they are targeting 60 across the board on consoles right?

The 'options' menu is a sad looking thing.

 

[Rodin]

Lol nvidia. Get your head out of your ass and start releasing decent drivers.

Pascal pls save us.

Yeah because it's the GPUs fault here, a 970 usually has half the performances of a 290X... Are you even serious?

 

[Compsiox]

AMD Radeon 7970 is doing better than my 970s. Awesome.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Look closer. SLI doesn't seem to be working at all.

Did they run it as a Windows 10 app?

Which card delivers the best value for money?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

People are complaining about a Alpha build...

Why not wait until the beta drops?

 

[Moff]

I hope it won't have texture pop ins like rage and wolfenstein, that's more important to me

 

[Metal-Geo]

Lol nvidia. Get your head out of your ass and start releasing decent drivers.

The latest Nvidia update includes improvements (supposedly) for the HITMAN beta. Which, as of today, has yet to release.

This could very well be a case of bad communication between id Software and Nvidia.

Or not. Who knows. It's a fucking alpha.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Why people complain about locked framerate when you need at least a 780 Ti to hit that ceiling?

[/b]Either there's something wrong with these benchmarks or the engine is utter shit.[/b]

The game looks pretty demanding though

AMD Radeon 7970 is doing better than my 970s. Awesome.

The cynic in me wants to say gets used to that cause that's what happened to my 780 after Maxwell released. 960's were outperforming it

 

[Notor!ousG]

Might be a stupid question, but aren't alpha benchmarks pretty pointless?
Doesn't alot of optimizations happen in the final stages of development?

 

[rashbeep]

Halo 5? You can't be serious.

 

[qa_engineer]

Look closer. SLI doesn't seem to be working at all.

And this is why I stick to single GPU setups.

 

[Leatherface]

Well that's pretty miserable performance. Hope that gets cleaned up.

 

[UnrealEck]

You should put in big bright red emboldened font, the word 'ALPHA' in the OP. People seem to be missing that fact.

 

[CastleRybread]

And this is why I stick to single GPU setups.

You stick to single GPU setups because alphas dont have sli or crossfire support already added to them?
